1.-The difference" said Miss Clara Nor
ris, the actress, ''between a man and
woman is very often exemplified in their
preparation of home. The man makes
up his mind that he will have home in
the country and the delights of nature
His wife rather prefers to live in the city,
fearing that she may have her lonely
hours. However, the man, as usual, pre-
walls, and they obtain the country house
In the course Of a few years the woman
falls in love with her home and is per
fectly contented there. The man goes on
building, making Improvements, fixing
the place up, and when he has got it all
done and there is nothing more TO do, his
interest in the plsce ceases. The woman's
interest begins when the consummation is
reached. The man being mere creature
Of action, pines and is bored to enter into
state OF rest Gath" in Cincinnati En-

correspondent who accompanied the
French expedition IN A'giers. The com
mander was martinez who hated news

the correspondents to sign a document
which made their miss on fruitless. Farcy
signed it under protest, and announced
that he should elude the censorship, il
possible, accepting the penalty as matter
of course A spy was set upon him, In
less than week a letter was intercepted.

court martial was summoned. Farcy
made no defense. The verdict was brief:
Camille Farcy is condemned 10 be shot
at u in the morning -
He was taken 10 Tunis for execution
The train arrived at $50 A ball was in
progress at the governor generals house.
He asked Farcy if he could do anything
for him before he died.
"Yes," he replied, 'Iwould like to have
a waltz before | die
The governor introduced him to his
daughter. At 0 he bowed to the guests.
He was conducted To the guard. He re-
fused TO have his eyes bandaged, and de-
manded permission TO give the word Of
command
May all journalists do as have done, "
said he, 1t is their duty" aud folding his
arms he cried:

In parliamentary language you may say
that a man is not welded TO the truth;
Or sometimes suffers from spirit Of
eXaggeration;
Or occasionally finds it difficult to con
fine himself strictly 10 ac:ualities;
Or is fettered by the four corners Of
hard matter of fact;
Or is past master in the pleasing art
Of realistically romancing;
Or is partial, in describing nature, to
borrowing from the pages Of romance;
Or is much given To an artificial recol-
lection Of misleading statistics;
Or cannot distinguish the false from the
true, with bias toward the former;
Or has distinct liking for the utter
ance of statements of misleading charac-
ter;
But you must not, No. yon mnst not
You really mnst not! Call him liar

where badness proved remunerating. A

Why not use that habit against them'
Forthwith he made window screen
